mod - 12:48pm Wed 10 Feb 2010, showing sold out
It's slow but working again. Just got a pack, thanks!
I think they are seriously trying to test drive their website under high load.
The database server does strange things when stressed!
Hehehe…database is crashing…
Database Error: Unable to connect to the database:Could not connect to MySQL
Good deal but I have been trying for 25 mins now and am gonna give up.
Website just keeps crashing
finally got my order in after many refreshes.
OMG finally got my order through! Now I can give this deal a +ve. Great day for freebies. Metamucil, laundry detergent, and this.
ok maybe not
trying again :)
Got through finally - and ordered - good post… but what's the catch?!
Here's ya -ve vote. Sour grapes. LOL.
You only need to put in your address details not your payment details, but yer im about to give up as well. Been loading at the last screen for nearly 10 min, reminds me of COTD dare i say
yeow got one finally :)
QQ more. but why give it a negative? my order went through with out clicking the refresh button it just loads slow. Having so many ppl put in orders must of stressed their server it doesnt changed the fact that it is a bargain.
Great site. Even after it had sold out I was able to finish buying it because I had it in my cart.
COTD makes you pay for it before they reserve it for you.
Same here. Sold out now, but I got in before sold out :)
just checked out also
I get > Database Error: Unable to connect to the database:Could not connect to MySQL
if it stuck on loading just wait dont refresh. my order went through with out needing to refresh. it just loads up slow.
Added to my cart then went on to register my details as a new customer, clicked submit and was sent to an error page. Happened twice but got one email saying I've registered on the site. Doubt mine went through, but can't be bothered trying again.
LOVIN IT
Finally got through.
Hopefully no stock problems eh.
Lol, hope the cards are worth the effort.

Internal Server Error
The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.
Please contact the server administrator, [email protected] and inform them of the time the error occurred, and anything you might have done that may have caused the error.
More information about this error may be available in the server error log.
Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.
Same problem, and btw, the order did not go through in that case. Just go back to the original site and reorder.
Just to note, you will only get the error message as a new user.
To avoid the problem, register your account BEFORE doing the purchase.
anyone else tried to buy this 10 times =P
sorry just being a typical asian
free cards? ..score!
perfect timing for chinese new year
just ordered. thanks!
Got my order through, pretty cool even though it did take forever for it to go through.
I can get to the site and order no problem… It was very quick..
Same, I guess there are not too many people on the site at 5am?
got it at 4am but still insanely slow =P
No problem; success first time! Don't know what all the fuss was about.
sold out!
Well that was just screwed. I spent an hour trying to get on instead of getting ready for work. Now i am late for work and it just kept going through checkout but never reaching the end page. And now its sold out!
common sense dude.
Being late for work just for cards isn't smart
hehe yeah i know, but ocd man, once i started trying to get it, i just couldnt stop, i guess thats what sites like COTD rely on. I purchased sooo much crap from COTD until my friends pretty much did an intervention on me :). (seriously, not joking).
SOLD OUT
i must have missed the post on tuesday night. Sold out on wednesday morning:(
just put an order through and it worked, so is it still sold out?
i would neva trust this company again afta the good vibrations ticketing scam!!!!
well if its free, you have nothing to lose
Database Error: Unable to connect to the database:Could not connect to MySQL
lol
I get this error too. I couldn't be bothered trying again. Even for a freebie.
Doesn't say its sold out until after couple of screens and says your order exceeds the available stock even if you just choose 1 item
+1 same for me!
thanks .. got one
woohoo just got meself some free cards!!!
thanks. just ordered one.
The wait is so not worth it.
I have 5-6 decks of those casino royale cards in my drawer.
obviously they don't have a good server for so many oz barginer…server down! can be a good deal but not at this situation
got mine! too easy! thanks!
Now I can finally have a poker night at my joint. Took a while to process but went through with confirmation invoice emailed.
Just placed my order… only took 2 tries!
Got the error :)
Database Error: Unable to connect to the database:Could not connect to MySQL
Server's getting hammered, kept getting database and 404 errors but held out long enough for each page to load. Woohoo, free pack of cards. Just got an email saying it's been shipped.
Appears they have stock again, just ordered the cards.
I managed to get one. Did take a few retry's but got there in the end. Confirmation email and everything.
Hopefully they send it out cause sometimes it comes up with out of stock, other times it is fine.
u get one and no +ve….
wow u really are stingy :P
I didn't get around to it before! :P
and now the site is chucking tantrums again….
Had problems initially as reported above but just got one on the second try. Thanks.
man have been trying all day, still no go!
GRRRRR SOLD OUT AGAIN?!!!!
I was lucky - probably got the last set :D
Order status: Shipped.
Wow they're quick. I'm impressed! :O
Yea, I thought it will take days to ship. Ordered at around 11am and received email at 2pm saying it's shipped.
i guess with the loads of orders they're shipping em as they get the orders or else they'll have one big problem with shipping
Wee.. mine says it has been shipped.. thanks Nex!
man…its only a pack of cards….
ur just mad because you missed out on one :)
nah jokes…its RRP says 10…but a friend says he got 2 packs for $4…
So there we go Ozbargain(ers? ites?) a massive $3 free thing for you!!! and ME!!
assuming postage costs $1…and Assuming they didn't get a discont when they ordered like 10 thousand packs lol
and also assuming they didn't make back the cost via the advertising generated at their site lol…with a zillion ppl crashing the server and reloading webpages etc…
man…if i were them…. i would NEVER do this AGAIN!
the whole website gets retarded for wat??..couple pacs of cards….its not worth the effort…
Site gets hammered for a day, but the site is checked by (or at least emails get sent to) a few thousand new potential buyers every day. It's all about building the customer base.
Agreed. You need to look at the situation from a business perspective.
What may be a free deck of (cheap) cards to you is a huge increase in membership to the site.
After getting my cards, I'm sure I'll check their site in the future. Although ozbargain & deal dump are making discrete site views redundant.
Can't see a reason why livert had to -ve your post, so a +ve to even it up. :)
Dear Ozbargainers
We would like to thank all Ozbargainers for their support. Due to our site having some issues yesterday and many customers missed out on FREE DAY we would like to offer all Ozbargainers the chance to get a pack of cards.
If you missed out please email [email protected] your Ozbargain user name, Your name, your email address and address and we will send you out your FREE DAY - Pack of Cartamundi Playing Cards.
Wishing you all the best
The 1Saleaday team.
Awesome! Time to edit the title description, mods!
Please note that this "offer" will expire by Midnight tonight the 12th Feb.
So get those emails in!
Emailing. Will every Ozbargainers who email you guaranteed to get one pack, btw?
Even though I did not miss out on the initial sale that is awesome of you. I have new found respect for 1saleaday
cheers sent an email
Thanks :D
lol 1 way to find out where ozbargainers live..
nw you have to be careful what you say about peshmo because he knows where you live, but i couldn't resist the freebie either so now he knows where i live ;)
Ta! You got my vote rep.
just sent the email peshmo, thanks for the offer.
then perhaps retract the neg?
not sure if you can retract it, i dont see how. Not sure if that should be done too i suppose. Since at the end of the day it was still about the actual offer itself? its a tough one.
Go to votes and hit the red negative/revoke button.
Are you kidding? You got your cards and still considering not changing your vote?
Exactly. Anyone that gave this deal a negative is insane. It's a first come, first serve system. Just because they ran out of stock, it doesn't make the deal any worse.
The server was pretty bad at times, but those who were persistent got through. Those who didn't get through had the option of e-mailing to get a deck, completely free!
Where's the basis for a negative? It's a win situation for everyone, except for 1 Sale A Day :)
Great!, sent my email!
damn missed out
no u didn't! send your 2nd chance email!!!
thanks. sent an email.
Thx just sent email. =)
Sent email; see how it goes. Cheers.
Tahnks!
sent email! :)
Email sent ^^
just sent the email thanks :)
